Dwight Howard shot 3 for 14 from the free throw line in last night's loss to the Mavericks.

He has always been a bad free throw shooter (58.7% for his career), but the Magic were never so good offensively that teams would resort to a radical "Hack-A-Dwight" strategy — where you foul him whenever he gets the ball near the rim.

Well now that he is on an offensive juggernaut with the Lakers (on paper, at least), we're already hearing that teams will start fouling him at will.
